This is a guided meditation for expectant mothers.
Welcome to this peaceful meditation designed especially for you and your growing baby so that you can nurture an emotional and spiritual bond with your sweet little love nugget.
So find a comfortable position either sitting or lying down and gently close your eyes if that feels comfortable for you.
I'll start by taking a slow deep breath in filling your lungs completely and then slowly exhale fully.
Again inhale ideally through the nose and slow exhale out through the mouth making a sighing sound.
Feel your body relaxing a little deeper with each breath in and releasing tension with each breath out.
As you continue to inhale deeply and slowly feel a sense of calm wash over you as you exhale again releasing any tension or stress lingering in your body right now.
And continue this gentle breathing pattern allowing each breath to center you in this present moment.
Now bring your awareness to your womb,
The sacred home of your baby and imagine a warm golden light radiating from your heart down through the umbilical cord and into your baby's heart enveloping you and your child in love and protection.
And with each breath feel this light growing brighter connecting the tiny heartbeat within your womb to your own heartbeat.
Now picture yourself in a serene natural setting maybe a lush garden or a quiet beach wherever you feel most at peace.
And in this place see yourself cradling your baby in your arms basking in their presence,
Their gentle movements and their unique energy.
And imagine your love flowing to them like a gentle stream nurturing and comforting and see the delight on their face as they recognize and receive your love.
Now take a moment to send any messages you would like your baby to receive at this time.
And you can also be open to receiving messages back from your baby as you enjoy this quiet time together.
Now take a moment to silently repeat these affirmations feeling them resonate deeply within you.
I am always connected to my baby through my love and affection.
And this beautiful golden light.
I trust my body and my instincts to nurture and protect my child.
Every breath I take is a breath of love and peace for my baby.
Deep breath in,
Sigh it out.
Now envision the life you wish to share with your baby.
Picture moments of laughter,
Learning and love and feel the warmth of these future memories and the bond that grows stronger with each passing day.
Slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the present,
Back to the room you're in and carry with you the sense of connection and peace.
You can start to wiggle your fingers and toes and maybe do some gentle stretching if that feels good to your body.
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Take a moment to place your hands on your belly offering gratitude for this time spent nurturing the bond with your baby.
Know that this connection is always here for you,
Grounding you in love and presence.
Thank you for sharing this sacred moment with your child.
May your pregnancy journey be filled with health and happiness and deep connection with your sweet baby.
